Gospels

Bible Trivia: Rome and the New Testament

Twelve questions on the empire the New Testament was written inside — governors, citizenship, taxes, and what Roman writers said about the Christians.

Bible Trivia: Egypt and the Bible

Twelve questions on the state that ruled Canaan for centuries and left the earliest surviving mention of Israel — and on what its records never say.

Bible Trivia: Miracles in the Bible

Twelve questions on the miracle accounts, at three levels — including the honest one about why a campaign leaves tablets and ruins while an event outside ordinary causation leaves neither.

Bible Trivia: Bible Geography

Twelve questions on the map behind the text — which town is where, which mountain hosted which scene, and what several familiar places were called before they were famous.

Bible Trivia: Women of the Bible

Twelve questions on named women across both testaments — what each one did and where the text places her — at three levels, each answer worked through with the passage behind it.

Bible Trivia: The Parables of Jesus

Twelve questions on the parables — what happens in each one, which Gospel carries it, and which of the famous stories turn out to appear in only a single book.

John

So different from the other three in chronology, idiom and content that harmonising is not an option. Two endings, and a famous passage the earliest manuscripts do not have.

Luke

A formal preface, a two-volume work with Acts, and a census in chapter 2 that remains a real and unresolved historical difficulty.

Mark

The shortest Gospel, earliest on the majority view, and the book with the most important textual fact in the New Testament attached to its final page.

Bible Trivia: The Gospels

Twelve questions on the four Gospels — what each one contains, where they part company, and which of them is the sole source for the scenes everyone assumes are in all four.
